Sorry I forgot to add, that I’m also unable to select all 225 af points, & can only select enough to fill 1 square around the edge away from the outer edge?Hi All,
Im hoping you can help me, Im an Olympus user, but I’m trying to set up my dads new Panasonic G9, but am finding the af system confusing..
Firstly I don’t seem to be able to select all of the af points, this stops one box around the edge?
The second thing is if I change the size to just a single af point a box then appears on the touch screen saying af off but then randomly it then turns to cluster focusing? Shown in images below?
Or should I be using the single af option? On the Olympus if you change to just single af, the cluster is only activated if all af points are chosen?
Many thanks

Hey JoeIm hoping you can help me, Im an Olympus user, but I’m trying to set up my dads new Panasonic G9, but am finding the af system confusing
Hey, it’s mainly going to be still photography but of wildlife.. However with a focus on still birds rather than in flightHey Joe
What is your dad going to be doing with the G9?
ie. .... still photography, birds in flight, video?

OK. I suggest you set the "AF Mode" to "1-Area" and the "Focus Mode" to "AFS"Hey, it’s mainly going to be still photography but of wildlife.. However with a focus on still birds rather than in flight
Thank youFirst thing I would do is turn off the touch screen af point select.
That way you can experiment without fear of moving the af point inadvertently
Thank you very much for thisOK. I suggest you set the "AF Mode" to "1-Area" and the "Focus Mode" to "AFS"
^^ This is my default, use it 95+% of the time.
Those dozens or hundreds of focus points (Panasonic calls them focus areas) are over-rated.
Thank you very much for this
No thank you, that does make sense Thing is I must admit one thing that confused me, is I’m an Olympus user, & with Oly you do just select a song AF pin point from the whole areas & cluster is only active if you select every af point, where as on Pano, if I’ve understood correctly single AF point & using af points from the area are actually 2 separate options altogether rather than being combined like on the Olympus.I hope it works for you. It's simple, one subject, one focus point, there's never more than one focus point (unless you're focus-stacking or have aperture so deep it's impossible to work out what's in focus and what's not).
It's a standard 2.5mm jack, used by dozens of cameras. Just put 'panasonic g9 wired remote' into Amazon or eBay and you'll get loads of them. I've found those supplied by Shoot or iShoot to be reasonable but most of them look the same so are probably all from the same factory.Hi all, could someone point me in the direction of a wired remote shutter release for the g9 please,
Thanks, will have another look, the ones I saw last night didn't say g9 on the list of compatible cameras, so got confusedIt's a standard 2.5mm jack, used by dozens of cameras.

Another from me - GX85 and 20mm 1.7. I just got this lens two days ago and this was the first chance to use. Had a copy many years ago, but foolishly sold it. Now I'm in that group of photographers who have bought - sold - bought the same piece of kit.
Yes and I think it can be lessened by using multiples of mains frequency but as I said above, I haven't seen it for a while which is either I suppose good luck or they've built in some sort of way of detecting flicker and avoid the banding with newer cameras.
I just wondered if anyone else has taken pictures with the electronic shutter under artificial lighting and has either seen this or not. For me it's a case of I can't remember seeing it since the GX7.
